工龄越长越好吗？

　　Older staff are more productive than their younger colleagues, say researchers.

    有研究显示，与年轻的员工比较，年长的员工的工作效率更高。

More mature members of staff may be weaker and less agile than their junior counterparts, but they more than compensate with their greater experience, ability to work in teams, and success at coping when things go wrong.

    更加成熟的员工在反应的敏捷度上可能弱于资历浅的年青员工，但他们丰富的教训却弥补了这一点，这点在与团队的配合上，以及在处理工作产生弊病时表现得尤为明显。

The researchers say: ‘While older workers make more errors, perhaps due to declining physical attributes, they hardly make any severe errors, perhaps due to more experience.

    研究者说：“只管年长的员工或者会犯更多的过错，这兴许是与他们体能下降有关，但他们却很少出错，这又与他们丰富的工作经验不无关系。” 内容来自www. .com

‘It is experience that prevents severe errors.’

     “正是工作教训防止了错误的产生。”

The scientists who studied production lines at a Mercedes-Benz truck factory in southern Germany also found that younger, more highly educated workers were less productive than those who had fewer qualifications – perhaps because the educated workers got bored more easily.

    科学家们在位于德国南部的奔驰汽车生产工厂中发现，那些年轻的受教诲程度更高的工人切实在生产效率上海不如那些条件并不这样有效的员工，只管有教导的员工对工作上手更快。

The researchers, from the University of Mannheim, said their findings debunked the idea that older workers should be made redundant to boost productivity.

    从曼海姆大学的研究人员表示，他们的发现证明了年长员工的工作效率实在更高。

They write: ‘In many countries, lower productivity among older workers is used as a motivation for early retirement policies. 内容来自www. .com

    他们说，“在世界上的很多国度，抱怨年老员工工作效率低下通常是劝道他们提前退休的理由。”

‘If this were true, the ageing populations in many developed countries would have negative effects on overall productivity. These results cast doubt on such beliefs.’

    “如果咱们的主张是正确的，那么在很多发达国家中的老龄人口将对社会的整体创造力发生负面影响。但研究的结果却与这样的观点背道而驰。”

The researchers argue that in sectors where physical strength is less important than in manufacturing,such as in the service sector, it is likely that older workers are even more productive.

    研讨者们认为，体能再当初出产中所占的重要性正在降落，例如在服务业中，年长员工的工作效力更高。

The researchers also found that a higher proportion of women in the workforce is bad for productivity in young teams and good in old teams. CopyRight .com

    研究者们还发明，学习英语的网站，在年轻的团队中，女性所占比例过高将对效率发生副作用，但这样的情况在年长的团队中刚好相反。

They say women make fewer errors, but young male workers get distracted, and are likely to make more errors, if women are in the team.

    他们表示，女性犯错的少，但却会使得年轻的男性员工分心，团队中若有女性的存在，会使得他们更容易出错。
